This highly fossiliferous site, especially on the foreshore near Copt Point, is composed of
rocks from the Lower Cretaceous; Gault Clay and Lower Greensand. The rocks are of the Middle Albian stage, at Folkestone being approximately 106 million years old. At the base of the Gault Clay cliffs is the Lower Greensand formation. Boulders from this are strewn over the foreshore, making it hard walking in some sections.
Suitable for older children.
